Documentary Family Photography – Day in the life of the Un Family

Manning market, day in the life, family documentary photography

A couple of months ago I spent half a day with a dear friend, her husband and her cheeky little daughter for some family documentary photography. I have been interested in delving into Day In The Life photography for a little while now and I offered to do some family photography as a birthday present for her little one. For those who don’t know, Day In the Life photography is a niche style (that is become more popular) of family photography. It’s photojournalism for your daily life. It’s capturing your family’s emotions and activities in their everyday environment. It’s a time capsule of that season of your life that you can look back upon in 20 years time.

2019 Year in Review and looking towards 2020

Fremantle at sunset — Sunset at Fremantle, 2019

Every year I have the tradition on this blog to do a year in review and what I am looking forward to in the new year.

I also gained some valuable insights into the architecture and building industry which I really appreciated.

ASCA Regional Championships, Perth Optus Stadium

ASCA Coffee Competition, perth, optus stadium

Back in November, I had the opportunity to photograph one of the baristas from Veneziano Coffee Roasters who was participating in the brewing category of the regional coffee championships hosted by Australian Specialty Coffee Association. While I’m a coffee drinker and enjoy a variety of coffees from espresso coffee to cold brew and pour overs, specialty coffee competitions was a whole new world to me. I learned quite a bit about the coffee competition in my few hours of hanging out to watch and photograph the event.

My second shooting experience for a wedding 2013 vs 2019

Wedding photography was never really an interest of mine. I’ve tried it (as a second shooter) twice so far. Once in 2013 with a Canon DSLR and the second time this year in 2019 with my Fujifilm X series XT10 camera. On both occasions it was to second shoot for a friend who was starting out as a wedding photographer. This blog post will be more image-heavy than normally but also dives deeper into my thoughts about photography.
